Today I saved a cow.
on: June 12, 2022, 06:38:22 PM
Today I saved a cow.

Not just any cow- MY cow!

Her name is Gorganzola and she lives in Megan's garden.  I got Gorganzola a couple of years ago at the market and she has lived happily in my garden ever since.

Except for the rust- poor Gorganzola seems to have caught rust from my Leatherman collection, and so today I pulled her out and sprayed her down with some clear gloss Rustoleum paint.  And, the clear gloss is glittery, which makes Gorganzola all sparkly.

She's now back in my garden, happily hanging out with Megan's flowers.
